[bluelacedredhead]

Hey Cliff,
I just wondered if you had any details about this upcoming gig in West Plains?
Just in case some of the folks on here might like to see you upcloseandpersonal like. Overalls, hairylegs and all :D

[Cliff Timmons]

I've never been to this festival, but it sounds like fun.

Well let me see.. $10 a day; $15 on Saturday..or $22 Weekend Pass and a Free Supper?
And since Ozark's playing all 3 days I'm guessing that you must be pretty near to being the headliners, huh ;)
I just wish some of these promo posters and websites would give a bit more detail as far as what to expect from the concessions? But of course, they want you to come and find out, lol
I hope you have great weather. It sounds like a good time!

[Cliff Timmons]

We're far from the headliners. They just can't run us off. <grin>

I don't know anything about concessions, in fact I've emailed them wanting to know. But West Plains is big enough that I'm sure they have a couple gro. stores I can buy a package of hotdogs and a loaf of bread.

[bluelacedredhead]

Hope you're having a sell out crowd and I hope that Fawnmeadow has found the time to attend this festival...
Wish I were there.......................

[Cliff Timmons]

We had a blast and we are beat.
The crowd was great.
Even met some folks from Maine.

I think I'm gonna die for a while. I am whooped.

[fawnmeadow]

Gotta tell ya, Ozark, was awesome on Fri nite! You have new fans Cliff.
Sorry I didn't get to introduce myself but you did get to meet my MIL(the Italian lady)you sat next to :D

[Cliff Timmons]

Well, I wish I had know that was you guys. Your Mother in Law was very sweet and funny. I enjoyed meeting her. I'm guessing that was you and your husband sitting on the other side of her?

Your poor Mother in Law had to sit next to me right after we got off stage. We were all soaked to the bone from sweating. It was about 30 degrees hotter on stage then out in the audiance.

Thanks for the compliment. We had a ball in West Plains. I'm glad you enjoyed the show. There were some aweful good bands there and good people. As much fun as we had, I sure couldn't do that for a living. I've sat around the house all day Sunday recovering. I even had to skip Church and I hate that.

[bluelacedredhead]

Cliff, I heard that Ozark has done a demo CD. Keep us informed when copies are available. Or at least tell Phyl so she can buy me one, LOL

[Cliff Timmons]

OK I will.
All we have is the music right now. But we were played in 10 states over the weekend over the radio!

Woooo Hoooo. <Grin>

[fawnmeadow]

Wonder if there's a station I can get to hear you on!

[Cliff Timmons]

Here's the stations.
They are supposed to play "Matter of Time, and Keep the Tractor Straight"

doggone it ! never been, and its only 20 miles from me--sounds as if everyone had fun, maybe next time---think we need name tags if we go?

[Cliff Timmons]

Naw, just look for me. A fat guy who sings and sounds like a dying cat in a hail storm. <grin>

"Our CD went off to the printer last week." We're almost there!

[GeorgeSims]

Cliff,

If that description is accurate, there's gonna be a lot of CONFUSION when I move to Missouri.

[Cliff Timmons]

Do you pick or sing?

They are starting a jam session in Springfield on Tuesday nights at 6 pm at High Strung music store just south of the square. They are having open mike on Wednesdays

[GeorgeSims]

Neither. I'm just a fat guy who sounds like a dying cat.

[bluelacedredhead]

"Our CD went off to the printer last week." We're almost there!
:D
YEE-HAW!!! It's almost Here!
Great News Cliff! :cool:

[Cliff Timmons]

Neither. I'm just a fat guy who sounds like a dying cat.
Well, we could sound like two alleycats.

[fawnmeadow]

Cliff, let us know the minute you get those CD's!
Ceresone, have you ever been to Weavers Pickin Parlor on Fri nites, or The Current River Opry in Summersville on Sat. nite? Great places to hear some good Bluegrass!

Phyllis

[johno]

Regular bluegrass nights? Is that west of West Plains, perchance?

[fawnmeadow]

Johno: Weavers Pickin Parlor I think is technically in Willow Springs, just east on Rt 60. Every Fri nite they have Bluegrass from 7 to 10 PM for a donation of $3. a person. Ya never know who will be there, just whoever shows up. They have some really talented musicians like Jimmie Orchard, & Larry Deathridge and if ya play or sing they'll let you do a couple of songs if ya let them know. The Current River Opry is in Summersville on Sat. nite from 7:30 to 10. Mary Ann and Clarence Crider are there every week and when Jimmy Orchard or The Bressler Bros. aren't there they have guest musicians. Most of the music they do is a mix of Bluegrass, county and gospel.
I don't mean to sound like a walking advertisement, I'm just blown over that there are places like this to go to, hear so many talented people, and meet new friends. We didn't have places like this in Ct.

I've got a friend who has a musical group. I asked what type of music they play.

He said, "A little Mo-Town, a little bluegrass. We call it 'mow grass'."
